THANK YOU SO MUCH!
What I found funny in a podcast of the American Theatre wing, that interviewed Sarah Saltzberg (Logainne Shwartzandgurbenierre) and dan Fogler (William Barfee)was that every time Jay Reiss ggave them a word, they would spell it worng, and he goes, "How did you win the spelling bee? You spelled every word wrong!"

Just got home from the show tonight, great as always! Heard a new word, it's a london term circa 1760 (or something like that), no clue how to spell it. Krizle...something.

Looking forward to seeing the Chicago Bee cast on Friday!!

are you the only person seeing this show?

Yup, I buy out every seat in the theater and the cast performs just for me every night.

A friend at work went to the show in SF last weekend. Her friend was one of the spellers! :)

Her friend was wearing a polka-dot dress, so she told me one of the descriptors was: "Each time [name] wins a Spelling Bee, her mom paints a new dot on her dress!"

A girl at Bee yesterday had on a polka dot dress, and the sentence was about her boyfriend getting suspended for trying to connect the dots.

SF is now selling t-shirts! Do any of you know where I could get them cheaper than $30? (Besides BroadwayNewYork.com's bargain bin -- with shipping it comes out to $28 anyway.)

I mean, they're cute, but I can't justify paying $30 for a t-shirt of any kind from anywhere.

If you were wondering what they look like, they're dark pink, sort of a distressed reddish color with a red collar. So, unisex. All the recruiters were wearing them. The front has a speech bubble that says, "Could you use that in a sentence?" The logo is really small on the back.

I have that shirt!

Are there any shirts that say Bee in SF?

[LizzieCurry]

Posted: 5/24/06 at 11:57pm

No, they're only selling that one and there's no SF-specific alteration to it, unfortunately!

Oh man! I will check if there is a special Chicago bee shirt on Friday when I am there.

Most of the Broadway show T-shirt is about $25-30 lately I got "Times They Are A-Changin'" T-shirt at Old Globe for $15, which is a bargain but it's a regional theatre. So unless you can find it on eBay, $30 it is. (I got Jersey Boys' "Big Girls Don't Cry" T for $25 when I saw the show)

Crap!

As you can see, I haven't bought a theatre shirt in a while -- but I think I paid $20 for the Little Women shirt I bought when I saw the tour.

I bought a Tarzan t-shirt recently, but I think that's it since I got my Bee shirt last summer.

Is Andrew Keenan-Bolger related to Celia? He participated "White Noises" reading recently.

Yes, he's her brother.

No Chicago Bee shirt

Just for the record, there were four understudies on last night (which prompted a visit only a week after my last visit).

Todd was on for Leaf, Sarah Styles was on for Celia, Kate was on for Logainne, and Lisa was on for Rona Lisa.

They were all phenominal. Sarah looked so incredibly young on stage. It was her last day at the Bee because she is going to California to do Vanities.

I wish I could have been there!
